So the price drop on the white plastic Macbooks means that we now pay ?20 more (?699 > ?719).

And Apple reckon that a entry-level metal Macbook with a stupid glossy screen that you can't use outside priced at ?949 is going to rock the market here.

Yeah right.

I might phone them tomorrow to ask what the **** Steve was on today.

hey! i like my glassy screen mind :pu :p

How long until Apple Retail stores get the macbooks in?

Since the store near me just opened a little bit ago I am excited I dont have to drive an hour haha.

Hope they dont mind me taking my camera lol.

tomorrow. =)

shipping today, in stores tomorrow.

for you americans, at least. its already night over here.

I'm wondering the same thing. I really need a laptop for my exam on the 23... but at this price point, I want to see it before. And I want to know about the right click as well. I'm not control clicking everywhere, that's clear in my head.

Use two fingers on the touchpad :)

uk store is up

It's been up for a while, albeit slow, but the education store is still down

Ohhhh I see. I skipped that part of multitouch a little on engadget, or maybe they just didn't write it... Well that clears a point in my head.

Now :

- High prices

- Bad university rebates

- What's going to happen with my iMac

- I'll have to install Undercover for sure... I'll need some reviews for this before. And also, if it gets stolen, how much will be covered by the insurance.

omg just saw all the updates, that was some F5 Mania, they sure do write damn fast (every time i F5'ed something else :p)

that display looks like a piece of crap tho, rest is fine, doesn't matter to me anyway.

kinda evil how they picked on vista, that was freakin cruel lol, they pointed vista vista is why we're so good, makes them sound not so good but only an cheap alternative.

Apple picking on Microsoft... What else is new? But hey, it's comforting to know that Vista runs far better than Leopard on Mac hardware. Apple may make good hardware, but they still aren't as good at making software.

Ugh, why the hell did they make the new Cinemas glossy. That is the biggest pile of **** I've ever seen. The name Cinema would lead you to believe it would be ideal for watching movies. Anyone with a glossy screen knows that its reflective surface makes for horrible dark scenes in movies. I was hoping they would show some intelligence and offer it with a matte finish for the monitors. Dammit apple, way to screw everyone because of their obsession with making things shiney.

    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
